When my husband and I decided to come back to his family’s farm, we sure didn’t come back for the money or the cushy hours. We chose farming as an occupation because we knew we wanted to raise our family on a farm.

At the end of the school year, my city-dwelling cousin contacted me and asked if I would be willing to let her 12-year-old come spend a week on our farm during the summer. She wanted him to experience farm life and learn how to work. With some hesitation, we agreed to let him come.

I love no-bake cookies, and I love caramel! I mean who doesn’t, right? These cookies take only a few minutes to make, and they seem to disappear about as fast as it takes to throw them together.

I have a love-hate relationship with autumn. I love the beautiful fall colors, the cooler nights, the warm days, football and the anticipation of farm life slowing down just a little bit.

The kids are out of school, and that makes everyone at my house a little giddy. Summers on the farm are crazy busy, but it’s a fun kind of busy. I love having the kids popping in and out of the house. I love having them home for meals and to help out at the house.

The other day I saw a crazy post on my Facebook page that immediately grabbed my attention. The post had a picture of two ladies protesting milk while standing in front of the milk cooler at the grocery store Trader Joe’s.

Mornings at my house are crazy busy! My farmer hubby milks his fresh cows and sick cows first thing in the morning, so he’s out the door super early.
